We invite entries that look at the various aspects of poverty through the lens of a camera. This is an opportunity for you to share with us stories told through a series of five photographs of the different ways in people experience poverty.

Poverty Portal’s Photo Essay competition is an alternative way of illustrating and increasing the knowledge of poverty in Sri Lanka. As the title implies, this competition aims to visualise different dimensions of poverty including lack of income, education, nutrition, etc. across different geographical locations and across different income and ethnic groups in Sri Lanka.
